    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    Unfortunately, there’s no direct possibility to keep links from an Excel spreadsheet during an import to TablePress. The reason for this is that the link formats differ. Excel uses a proprietary format, while TablePress uses HTML code.
    Now, if your links are actually just the URLs, you can simply use this TablePress Extension: https://tablepress.org/extensions/automatic-url-conversion/
    If your links have custom link texts, you could try a solution with a macro in Excel that rewrites the links to HTML as briefly described here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/hyperlinks-in-cells
    Unfortunately, I have never used this before and I’m not an Excel expert, so I won’t be able to help with that code.

    Regards,
    Tobias
